Shilling (Irish coin)
The shilling (1s) (Irish: scilling) coin was a subdivision of the pre-decimal Irish pound, worth 1⁄20 of a pound. The original minting of the coin from 1928 until 1942 contained 75% silver; this Irish coin had a higher content than the equivalent British coin. These earlier coins were noticeably different from their later counterparts as they were of a lighter hue than the cupronickel coins minted from 1951, and they resisted wear less well. The cupronickel coin contained 75% copper and 25% nickel.
